Do it. If quiet introversion is your thing then I think you've got a good plan. You don't have to be a Manager, and you don't have to be rich. Focus on being happy instead.

There is another option. I believe Japan went through it in the 90s. So lets follow their example and do nothing about the real estate bubble too.

Literally my brother's retirement plan. Good luck to anyone who doesn't have a well off family!

It is because Realtors are crooks. That's about it. We also had to tack down assignment clauses so that realtors wouldn't re-sell their client's houses for more and pocket the diff…

1% is a lot... why can't people deal with percentages of large numbers? Its COVID all over again. 1% of 7 billion is 70 million. Thats ten holocausts! Supply and demand means I won…

Vancouver is a great city. I didn't live anywhere near the nice parts. I was walking distance to the 7-11 and laundromat. And the apartment was infested with cockroaches. The bank …

Oh cool, so as a suburbanite I get a vote too? No? Oh great, I guess I'll be commuting 2 hours to get to an office that is walking distance for my boss.

MS Office. That's it. That's the reason I went with a Mac instead. Nobody is kicking MS off of that pedestal, and unless we get some significant anti-trust legislation, we aren't g…

"Be you" is horrible advice for introverts. Be extroverted is the advice I always give. This isn't a hobby, this is capitalism, and your ability to put food on the table is going t…

I can recall pretty much every episode of the first 10 seasons of the Simpsons in ridiculous detail because I watched hours of TV after school in the 90s, and my parents lamented t…

This is exactly it. We've been spending money in our suburbs for too long and it's killing the restaurant businesses that they own. The Gov of New York has basically come out and s…

I go to meetings for a living. Its been a huge productivity boost to not have to walk 15 minutes across campus to meet my clients. Plus I never have to worry about not having a pro…

Yeah its only World Trade Center tower 1 every day. Its not like we'd go to war over those numbers.

Everything is a tabloid, including government reporting. We won't know how many people have died of COVID unitl the academics start studying excess deaths and get into years long f…

lmao yeah pretty much. I'm moving from a low code shop to Node/Vue because I can't keep people. They all want to pad their resume, so I'm going to build at 2x the cost just so I ca…

Yeah that's the lean startup model. You intentionally find people who are early adopters and offer to bring them into the beta to improve the software. Its a win win situation beca…

The unsaid part is that Google keeps Firefox alive so that they are not hit by anti-trust over in-browser search. That's why FF will always trail Chrome, its the designated loser. …

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! I'm running a hiring competition right now for a "Senior." The pay band is less than what entry level startups pay. So we rotate through a never e…
